Test star says Sky is biased

A FORMER Test captain has accused Sky Sports of biased cricket coverage.

Ex-Pakistan skipper Asif Iqbal, 68, who won 58 caps and captained Kent, said the broadcaster did not have any Pakistani representatives on its London-based team for coverage of the series against England.

Sky's team in the UAE, where the matches are played, included three former Pakistani stars, but the London panel was made up of David Gower, Bob Willis and Marcus Trescothick.

Asif said: “When they are discussing the game we only hear an English viewpoint.”

A Sky spokeswoman said: “We do not always have a representative of England’s opponents in the studio.”
